If I'm setting up a home server with Debian, and I need to have a static IP address, what values do I plug in to my /etc/network/interfaces file and how do I find them? For example, what values should I use for address, netmask, network, gateway and broadcast?
Are there any guides or manuals that explain this? I haven't found one. They all explain how to format them, but I have no clue what values to use or how to find them.
